Hello sharmila,

From: sharmila radhakrishnan [mailto:shar_mila2002in@yahoo.co.in]

Are there any simulators available for programming the Strong Arm and running them without hardware support ?

You'll find on the web several ARM simulators. I don't know however there accuracy regarding StrongARM instruction set. SimIT-ARM http://www.ee.princeton.edu/~wqin/armsim.htm ARM simulator in GDB: http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/gdb.html But, do you really need a simulator? As far as I know, the main advantage of having a general purpose processor like the ARM core on the IXP processor is to be able to program with usual development tools (C, etc.). Why don't you program on x86 and then cross-compile towards your IXP1200 ARM target? I hope it helps, Yours, d. -- David Mentré - Research engineer (Ph.D.) Mitsubishi Electric ITE-TCL / European Telecommunication Research Lab Phone: +33 2 23 45 58 29 / Fax: +33 2 23 45 58 59 http://www.mitsubishi-electric-itce.fr
